2010 May 08 Candle Light Making

Yesterday May 7th, I wanted to kidnap my mother on for early celebration for Mother’s Day. I took her to Make candles. There is a store in Irvine called Pure Light. Its a candle company and they offer pre-made candles, or you can create your own candle. I thought this would be a great mother’s day activity for me and my mom. So I called the place up and asked the lady if i needed to make an reservations for me and my mom, just the two of us were only gonna go. The place is at the Irvine spectrum. My mom was surprised and so eager to learn. My mom is not to much of a craft’s kinda girl, but I told her that this would be a good practice, and that she will do fine. It turns out that she picked a small one and picked out good accessories to go with her candle.

Here are the steps that the store had us do;

1. pick your shape, size ( prices varies from size )
2. pick your frangrance of your candle
3. accessories – bouguet style (things on top of the candle) or flat top (nothing on top)
4. pick out your color blocks of wax to fill in
5. careful cut your blocks to size to fit the mold of the shape, size your chosen form step 1
6. pick the cooling style (express) or (later the day, tomorrow, or date)

Within 2 hours or so, we had to pick up our candle. I will share only one picture, so enjoy. Shot with a point~n~shot camera.

2010 May 02, Bolsa Chica, Bird Photo Shot

Went to Bolsa Chica, California this Sunday (May 2nd, 2010), and my photography group did a Bird & Wildlife photo shot there. We learned a few things first about wild life photography, and the event-host let us use his Canon equipment, which is his 2 camera’s and 2 different type of lens for wildlife photography. About 15 of us went. I took over 700+plus photos, and my card was showing up full, so I had to go through and deleted some that were outrageously bad.

Here are some photos:

2009 November 21 Griffith Observatory

Some friends and I went to the Griffith Observatory. we had 4 carpool teams, and we were trying to get there at 4pm, some of us were just a bit late, and some of us were late. It was my first time there. Saw “Centered in the Universe” show in the Samuel Oschin Planetarium. than got to see jupitar through one of two telescopes that they use. overall, i had a good time, and i would not mind going there again, when it is less crowded and morning during the day.
